The JDRF Ride isn’t just about cycling—it’s a global community with an ongoing commitment to find a cure for type 1 diabetes (T1D). No matter where you live, how you choose to ride or how far you go, you’ll be surrounded by the T1D community—fellow riders, coaches, friends and family, cheering you on at every milestone.

Register for Ride Today! 

The Ride provides an opportunity to connect and bond with our local T1D community all season long through training rides and get togethers. If you’ve been looking for a way to impact JDRF’s mission through fundraising AND network with other type 1 families, this is the way to do so! And, unless you’ve been at a JDRF Ride, you truly can’t understand the power of hundreds of people together riding towards a world without T1D.

So you haven’t ridden your bike in 20 years? No problem! We have 19 coaches across Wisconsin that will help you train and plan for whatever your Ride day goals are. All JDRF Ride courses are designed to be 100-miles but they are out & back – meaning that at any point you can turn back. You can ride 10, 20, 50 or 100 miles – it’s up to you. JDRF Ride is about the mission, not the miles!

We are fortunate enough to host one of our National events here in our backyard in beautiful La Crosse, WI – a great entry ride for the novel cyclist. And we do have more challenging options for the more experienced cyclists. With 5 stunning destination rides across the country there’s something for everyone.

Come join Team Wisconsin for the 2023 season – you won’t regret it!
